My question relates to promised legislation, specifically the position of the education (parent and student charter) Bill 2019. Does the Minister agree that citizens are becoming more assertive about their rights and entitlements, no more so than in respect of education? Parents are now raising concerns regarding school governance, grievance procedures and voluntary financial contributions, among others. They expect openness, transparency and accountability in respect of all aspects of the day-to-day functioning of schools. The Minister for Education and Skills has stated that schools must be accountable to parents and that we need a greater level of communication, engagement and transparency in how schools serve their communities. When can we expect the publication of the education (parent and student charter) Bill 2019?

On the same issue, I support the sentiments expressed by my colleague across the House, and I wish to voice the same sentiments in terms of how the Bill might be brought before the House with a view to having a necessary debate on it, which will be of benefit to the provisions likely to be made in the Bill.
